Hello
Some pictures first:
Eton 11_581_50Hex, Morel EM1308 and ET338
(preliminary) Behringer DCX2496 crossover: 600Hz/24dB-Butterworth and 3000Hz/12dB-Butterworth
bass -3dB at 55 Hz
Costs per LS: approx. 750€
I would like to spare myself any metaphorical sound descriptions here.
The loudspeakers exactly deliver what you can expect from drivers of this quality. I listen to music for hours - completely stress-free, relaxed and absolutely delightfully.
The "sound" immediately reminded me of the Focal "Temptation", which I was totally enthusiastic about in ancient times. This is because of the domes, which do their job well and create an incredibly wide stage.
I can, at a distance of about 4m, easily move 2m to the side, without the spatial representation changing significantly. Classical music lovers should be thrilled and even with 3 people on the sofa this should work wonderfully. With "Oxygene", my ultimate test, the loudspeakers disappeared immediately. Only a few can do that at all.
Very low bass is audible, but due to sealed enclosure quieter. On the other hand, its much drier/contoured. The damping, pi times thumb plus experience, seems to fit and thanks to 2.5l polystyrene filling there is still enough space for fine tuning. Seems superfluous to me at the moment. I can't measure under 200Hz anyway.
Interesting: At 8.5KHz there is a -4dB dip. I found the reason when I converted this frequency to its wavelength - about 4cm. This corresponds to the radius (minus dome) of the tweeter mounting plate. I covered it with paper all around the baffle and the dip disappeared.
The drivers will be set flush with 5mm needle felt, the cabinets and stands are going to be painted neatly and then I'll post more pictures and frequency charts.
It may take some time, because my shoulder hurts a lot :-(.
Until then and many greetings
